Prevention of Secondary Damage

Beware of secondary damage

This photo shows the roof of a home that was blackened, puckered, and generally damaged by a fire, leaving the home below and its contents exposed to the outside elements. SERVPRO of Ennis / Red Oak was able to respond  to the customer's call and tarp off the damaged area to prevent moisture from getting through the open space and causing further damage. 

When a customer calls SERVPRO of Ennis / Red Oak with a fire loss, we arrive on scene as quickly as possible, assess the damaged area, and determine what can be done to ensure that any additional damage is prevented or limited. In this specific instance, that included the tarping of the roof. Once the property was secure and protected, remediation of the damage and restoration of the home was able to begin.
